    Kabayel counter him frequently, lands combinations on the inside, lands that uppercut frequently and eventually stops him.

    Sigh.

    Knyba is better than Rico. It's disrespectful to suggest otherwise.

    It's a fight that needs to happen for the sake of Rico not going down as some crossover boxing star.

    I think that's rather unfair on Usyk. He can clearly crack when he wants to, he just seems to often prefer taking people the distance unless they **** him off like Dubios and Huck did.

    Especially one that is huge, physically strong, and will be better at rough housing than likely anyone that Agit has been in a ring with.

    Being the man who came the closest to beating Usyk at heavyweight is more than most of the division has achieved lately (belts via email, sitting on interm titles etc).

    It's an interesting scrap, though i'll be very surprised if Kabayel took the risk.

    Rico would knock him out with a kick to the head.

    Then he goes and proves it. Nice to see you finally get on the Kabayel bandwagon, years too late.
